Palisades
Toys (2002)

In
celebration of The Muppet Show's 25th annivesary Palisades Marketing released
the most incredible line of figures ever. In the fall of 2001, product
developer Ken Lilly joined our discussion
forum and gave Henson fans an opportunity to help shape this line
of action figures through daily discussions and brainstorming sessions.
The results are simply astounding.

Each
figure is approximately 5-6 inches in height. The characters are all in
scale to one another so that their size is as accurate as possible. Every
figure is poseable and has anywhere from 6-12 jointed areas. A black Muppet
Show stand comes with each figure along with several accessories per character.

2002
Promotional Figures

Throughout
the year, several promotional figures were produced. Outside of the Dr.
Teeth Wizard World East Exclusive, these are the rarest of the Palisades
figures to obtain. In order to qualify as a promotional figure, the item
must not have been sold in stores or at a convention.

Some
of the figures would be repackaged in mini-Muppet lunchboxes. The first
of these was the regular Kermit figure from series 1 given out a promotion
party at Wizard World East. The run was limited to 500.

Palisades
Toys (2003)

Palisades
continued their incredible line of Muppet figures and playsets in 2003.
Amazingly enough, in each series the quality of sculpts and rarity of
characters increased. As of series three, Palisades no longer revealed
their actual production numbers on exclusives. The numbers given here
are only estimates to the best of our knowledge.
